You were a rose with hidden thorns
That I foolishly come to touch
I have to stop, thoughts of scorn
There’s no diamond in the rough
You gave birth to crooked fears
Never thought, love holds such grim tears
I’m tired of swollen eyes and broken hearts
Why draw blood on damn old scars?
I’m left wondering to myself…
What if I don’t make you happy?
What if I’m not enough?
And suddenly you confirmed…
I was almost, and almost was never enough
You left ‘cause I wasn’t a prince,
Just a knight lacking silver armor
You never wanted me, you were never happy
Because all of that is found in him
Crimson lips held poison in her tongue
A love not as perfect as the tales
Tempted from the ceiling to be hung
‘Cause love was never meant to sail
Like the darkness of my room
I quivered at my chilly gloom
Like the sadness in my smile
I sobbed without a pleasant style
